Can anyone tell if the inner pot is made solely stainless steel? How come I read a review about the Internal coating would scape down.

since I have not the use of a lab at this time I will not state catagorically that is it one hundred persent stainless but it certainly acts like the rest of my stainless wear. Dobs

It is made of stainless steel, no coating or any other thing, and really works well. You do not need to worry about it.

seems to be stainless. It is not heavy though, so it is thin and not meant to be used outside the container, and treated gently.

It appears to be. I have used mine several times and still apprears "stainless". Does anyone know how to use it as a "slow cooker"?

The inner pot of my cooker is stainless steel and there is no coating to peel. Previously, I did own one with a teflon like coating that peeled; that's why I ordered the stainless, this time. So far, no problems.

the inner pot is stainless steel. I have had no problem with it. Mine does not have an 'internal coating'.

I am definitely having an issue with the coating. I have submitted a question to Circulon for a replacement. My pans were bought Dec 2nd, 2013. The main problem i've had is with -- of all the pans -- the stockpot, which we use mostly for boiling things, sauces, soups. The coating seems to be coming off more and more, and it isn't inside the grooves, it is on top. We do use metal utensils, but you are supposed to be able to use that.. and it's not like we are frying in the pan (though, again, it says metal utensil safe). I'm wondering if we somehow got a bad batch, as so many people seem to say the coating stay. I am definitely having an issue with the coating.

Right, stainless steel does not rust, I have seen no rust on this pot as of yet, very happy with it, my input would be because of "hard water" to avoid mineral deposits in standing water....???...I have left water in it occasionally and I just empty it, there is something about "stale" water I do not like, hope my input helps.

It's aluminum, so rusting is not an issue. It also has the same properties as any other aluminum pot regarding sticking. It's not Teflon coated, so it's not "non-stick". As long as you understand and respect how to use aluminum pots and don't expect Teflon or stainless steal characteristics, you will not be disappointed. That said, I use the pot for beer brewing and I use it on an outdoor gas burner, so I have no experience I using this on an electronic burner. I can't beggin to imagine how long it would take to heat this much liquid on a stovetop though!

Titanium-Coated Extra-Thick (5mm) Non-Stick Inner Pot with Round Bottom for Maximum Heat Distribution and Optimal Cooking!!!! I still love and used frequently this little gem. No pbs cleaning it quickly by hands or with a sponge. Hope this helps.

The pot is stainless in the outside, Teflon coating on the inside. I like the Teflon, as nothing sticks. I've had another style by Wedt Bend and loved it for years, but finally replaced with this one and really like it!

Yes, the inside is stainless steel; there is NO nonstick coating at all. I love this skillet!

Its 'says'/claims to be completely stainless steel; its the reason I bought this one. I am Sensitive to Nickel/aluminum and haven't had ANY issues with this cute pot. Hope this helps.

The inside base of the unit is stainless steel ... there is no nonstick coating anywhere. BTW it is easy to clean.

The inside of the pot is brushed stainless. Mine hasn't discolored in years of use. BUT, the plastic filter ring does become discolored. The thin silicone rubber gasket on the ring seems to discolor the most, and after a couple of years it tends to tear, needing replacement.

I'm unsure what information you are wanting. There are well over 150 different grades of stainless steel and I doubt most people would know the percentage of chromium to steel outside of a chemist or someone in the stainless trade. I can say that this is a standard heavy commercial-grade stainless kitchen pot with a heavier steel bottom that will work on my induction stove. Because it works beautifully on the induction stove top, that is indicative that the base is slightly less 'stainless' and more 'steel'. However, the sides and top are pure commercial stainless with a satin finish. I have yet to have any scratches on any of the parts that have rusted and I use these pots on a daily basis. They were recommended to me by a professional 4-star chef who DOES know all the grades and tells me that this is a good one for standard or even commercial kitchen uses. I hope that helps you.

You know what I'm not so sure but I did buy it because of the "hard anodized"; and so far this is the best pot I have ever owned!!! Been cooking for 35 years and have gone through some expensive pots and this is my absolute favorite!!! My daughter wants to steal it from me and I won't let her!!! :))

The pan just out of the box is not shiny stainless steel on the inside cooking surface, but a darker color and appears to be a coating. Did you find a difference from the outside shiny stainless steel to the inside darker textured surface?

Sorry if this had been made clear elsewhere, but is this thing completely stainless steel on the inside? Like many others, I don't want anything that has plastic parts getting exposed to the boiling water every time...Thanks!John

pot is non-stick. ceramic, no teflon. inside inner lid looks like stainless, no coating.

It isn't stamped "stainless steel", but it definitely is. I have occasionally forgotten for several hours to empty the water from the pot below, and the residual moisture would have long ago started to rust regular steel.
